I believe the principle to build a language is to set it’s basic elements and the rules of their interaction (sintactic and semantic principles)… and then let them talk.
This exercise is an exploration of the mechanism’s possibilites of a typographic light sculpture built by Rob Seward that combines a basic color and position effects, in order to generate a language. This is a series of observations.
RGB CODE
Aestheticode (by Rob Seward) is a machine readable and human readable aesthetic encoding system. It is similar in function to a barcode. Its complexity is similar to that of morse code.

chromatic typewriter :: Tyree Callahan
By replacing the ink ribbon with paint blocks on an antique typewriter, artist Tyree Callahan has created a new conceptual instrument in which the notions of paint and words converge. Initially started as an experiment to apply watercolor text to a work in progress, the project grew to the resulting object, aptly named the chromatic typewriter.

What are your favorite sounds?
My own muffled scream, feedback, planes taking off, and anything rhythmic at 180 bpm.

What is sound to you?
Two things: ghost and currency. It’s there, but I don’t see it (well, unless it’s Slimer). And I am aware how much value the society put in sound, music, and vocal languages. It’s a lot more interesting to explore a medium that I don’t have direct access to and yet has the most direct connection to society at large.
- Christine Sun Kim is a deaf sound artists who examines sound through movement, physics, and visual manifestation
